Mac.-Ay, in the catalogue ye go for men.
d. Macbeth. Act III. Sc. 1.

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty, in form, and moving, how express and admirable! in action, how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!

One gleam of brotherhood to send;

To give truth one martyr more,
Then shut, and here behold the end!
